Week 3: Pull Ups

This program is designed for those new to strength training. Each week we will focus on a different functional fitness movement meant to improve overall strength, endurance and stamina. What is a functional movement? A functional movement is a movement that we perform in our everyday lives.

For example: when we pick up our groceries, we are performing a deadlift. When we push our luggage into the overhead compartment, we are doing an overhead press. These are movements we as humans are designed to perform. And even though we’re designed to perform them, we still need to practice form and build strength so that these movements come naturally. This program is designed for those new to strength training.

Each week is built on the one before it to help you, the athlete, build a solid foundation. Though the program has been created for those new to strength training, is just as relevant for the more advanced athlete. We will begin practicing the fundamental movements, and move forward each week at a steady pace.
